I have 100% said this and I 100% was mostly speaking to myself when I did it.
Listen, this isn’t rock surgery. I mean rocket surgery. I mean rocket mortgage. F*ck. Just have fun with it.

Team rocket, blast off!
“We’re not saving lives here (but I have crippling anxiety that I contribute zilch to society and I need this to be recognized as at artistic and technical excellence in order to be validated)”

It feels more poignant when they work on the Pharma account.
“This isn’t rocket surgery…!”
agreed. its always the most intense person with a bit of power whether it be a CD or an account person
I say it and 100% mean it.
My wife’s in the medical field and it gets put into perspective when I tell her I had a bad day because my script got rejected versus her bad day when they lose a kid.
Same boat with my wife.
I say it and completely mean it. Like others said, it’s mostly for me but clients surely do act like that. 😂😂

It’s only advertising! Tell your wife and kids you’re not coming home to dinner in three weka!
I often say it but mostly as a "I really need the AM/PM team/client to calm the eff down about needing this shit immediately."
